Alignment Issues?

Post by MJBD8 »

...so I thought having driven a XUD9TE for years now I would buy a 306 for my Mum.

Everything was great drives well etc until I looked at the drivers front wheel which is central to the arch... but the passenger side arch the wheels towards the back of the car. Any ideas what causes this and how easy it is reset I wondered if it was a strut thing or a wishbone...

I'm not aware of the car ever having an accident.

I'd take it to a tyre shop & get the tracking done to be honest, mine was totally screwed when I bought my D8, tyres worn on the shoulders, more-so on the near-side. They can adjust the toe-in / toe-out which will solve your problem.

Why is it always this time of year that problems rear their head when we're all penniless!
